Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

The vision of Egypt. Behold, the Lord sits upon a swift cloud and shall come to Egypt; and the handmade idols of Egypt shall be shaken at his presence, and their heart shall faint within them.
And the Egyptians shall be stirred up against the Egyptians; and a man shall fight against his brother, and a man against his neighbour, city against city, and district against district.
And the spirit of the Egyptians shall be troubled within them, and I will annul their counsel; and they shall enquire of their gods and their images, and of those who speak out of the earth, and of the ventriloquists.
And the fishermen shall groan, and all who cast a hook into the river shall groan; and those who cast nets and those who cast casting-nets shall mourn.
And the rulers of Tanis shall become fools; the wise counsellors of the king—their counsel shall be made foolish. How will you say to the king: We are sons of wise men, sons of the kings of old?
For the Lord has mixed for them a spirit of error, and they have led Egypt astray in all their works, as a drunkard staggers and one who vomits along with him.
And the land of the Judeans shall be a terror to the Egyptians; everyone who names it to them shall make them afraid, because of the counsel that the Lord has purposed against it.
In that day there shall be five cities in Egypt speaking the Chananite language and swearing by the name of the Lord; one city shall be called City-of-Asedek.
And it shall be for a sign for ever to the Lord in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry out to the Lord because of those who oppress them, and the Lord shall send them a man who will save them; judging, he will save them.
And the Lord shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day; and they shall offer sacrifices and vow vows to the Lord and pay them.
And the Lord shall strike the Egyptians with a great blow, and shall heal them with healing; and they shall turn to the Lord, and he shall listen to them and heal them.
In that day there shall be a road from Egypt to the Assyrians; and the Assyrians shall enter Egypt, and the Egyptians shall go to the Assyrians, and the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrians.
